A wonderful place if you love stones, how the stones lie, how the stones are scattered, big and small. Here you can also donate € 4 for the maintenance of the stones. I recommend it to stone lovers.
A wonderful tourist place, a wonderful exposition. We visited there with great pleasure, climbed everything from the basements to the roof, and learned a lot of new things. It's good that many of the exhibits can be touched. 🤓
It's worth a visit to say you've been there. The building was reconstructed in the 19th century by the British following the traces of Ottoman rebuilding and reconstruction. Of course, this is not a castle, but rather a fort, a fortification, mostly used for police purposes. It has never had military significance, except for controlling the road from Paphos to Larnaca and collecting duties for salt and sugar from the local lake and plantations. It was originally located closer to the bay, but was destroyed by earthquakes and rebuilt in a new location later.
I was fascinated by everything related to the Old Town and the Castle in Limassol. Passing nearby, where a three-meter layer of soil was removed due to the repair of communications, I saw an ancient masonry of stones from the 15th century. Friends, this is not a new model!!!This is a Story next to you, at arm's length...
The castle is small, it doesn't look much like European ones. It doesn't take much time to bypass it. There are various exhibits, such as weapons, armor, dishes, etc. In principle, it will do for an inexperienced tourist. By the way, its roof offers a good view of the city and the sea.
